      Innovative, Growing, Fast-Paced Company To Jumpstart Career

      Pros

      Company culture and employees all believe in the brand message and this is infused into the office vibe and day-to-day. Great company to have on your resume that is rapidly growing in headcount and a place to jumpstart career.

      Cons

      Not the most competitive pay but there is opportunity to move up faster than a more corporate environment. Upper management is tasked with the rapid growth goals and may not recognize the hard work that employees have devoted.

      A hyper growth company with high expectations

      Pros

      A profitable startup, with an amazingly fun team. Most everyone here loves the brand, the mission and the opportunities for growth are amazing. Right now (Winter 2013) this is a rocket ship in terms of headcount (60%), traffic (100%) and revenue (100%) growth year over year. There are many fashion content/digital fashion companies in NYC, this is the only one I've encountered with a sustainable business model and the right people to make it happen.

      Cons

      Occasionally, it feels like you're spinning your wheels on a project that is going nowhere. R29 suffers from going in too many directions at once, and not applying the necessary resources for major undertakings. It's entirely possible for you to end up on a project without a future, and this can be frustrating.
